How The Elephants Will Win

According to Hugh Hewitt, Bush's 31% approval ratings don't spell disaster for the Republican party in the upcoming election because the debate will soon turn to issues that move the base:

Win the war
Confirm the judges
Cut the taxes
Control the spending
Secure the border

Hugh my man, puh-leezee - have you learned nothing from the Big Brain Rove? Who needs issues? Seal the deal by focusing on how much Democrats hate freedom, hate God, want fags to corrupt your children, and how Hillary will force you to live next to black people on welfare (who by the way will be eating filet mignon while hard working folks have to get by on chicken - which btw, they don't love nearly as much as Black people do). That should do it. Then make sure to throw in a tax bill that only the rich benefit from and the base is yours - this one's hard to figure out but average income rightwingers find pleasure in cutting taxes that reduce services to them while benefitting the wealthy. Why argue with them?

As for the substantive claims, if you need to elaborate, here are some ideas.

Win the war - That Mission Was Accomplished like three years ago. Duh.
Confirm Judges - Remember, we don't require litmus tests of judges as long as they view abortion as murder.
Cut Taxes - It's outrageous how much tax the CEO of Exxon was unable to avoid on his $400 Million bonus. Outrageous!
Control Spending - We tried to gut Social Security and enrich our friends on Wall Street but Dems wouldn't let us.
Secure the Border - We're just trying to make sure there are some jobs for the Blacks.

If things start looking extra bleak, just suggest through innuendo that your opponent is a pedophile - that one always works.
